SAIL ON SAILOR
Jimmy Buffett
(Rieley/Kennedy/Wilson/Almer/Parks)
2003, MCA/UTV Records
Capo III Fret
[Intro]
G                 C/G G         C/G
I sailed an ocean , unsettled ocean
G               C/G    G
Through restful waters and deep commotion
Ebmaj7 Am7/D       Ebmaj7 Am7/D
Often frightened, unen lightened
Ebmaj7   F       G
Sail on, sail on sailor
G               C/G  G               C/G
I wrest the wat ers, fight Neptune's waters
G                      C/G G              C/G
Sail through the sorro ws of life's mara uders
Ebmaj7 Am7/D    Ebmaj7 Am/D
Unre penting, often empty
Ebmaj7   F       G
Sail on, sail on sailor
D             Ebdim       Em
Caught like a sewer rat a lone but I sail
D             Ebdim           Em
Bought like a crust of bread, oh do I wail
       Am7  Em         Am7  Em
Seldom stum ble, never crum ble
       Am7 Em            Am7 Em
Try to tum ble, life's a rum ble
         G     Am7           G   Am7
Feel the sting ing I've been giv en
      G   Am7        G  C
Never end ing, unrel en ting
           Am7  Em          Am7  Em
Heartbreak sear ing, always fear ing
      Am7 Em         Am7 Em
Never car ing, perse ver ing
Ebmaj7   F        G
Sail on, sail on, sailor
G              C/G   G              C/G
I work the sea ways, the gale-swept seaways
G                C/G       G         C/G
Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters
Ebmaj7 Am/D   Ebmaj7       Am/D
Unins pired, drenched and tired
Ebmaj7   F        G
Wail on, wail on, sailor
       Am7  Em        Am7   Em
Always need ing, even bleed ing
      Am7  Em         Am7  Em
Never feed ing all my feel ings
         G    Am7         G    Am7
Damn the thun der, must I blun der
           Am7 Em          Am7 Em
There's no won der all I'm un der
         Am7 Em          Am7 Em
Stop the cry ing and the ly ing
        Am7  Em         Am7 Em
And the sigh ing and my dy ing
Ebmaj7   F        G
Sail on, sail on, sailor
Ebmaj7   F        G
Sail on, sail on, sailor
